Hello everybody 

I was diagnosed by breast cancer triple negative last year.

I did chemotherapy surgery and radiotherapy. 

In January my treatment finished,but after that I have been  always scared. I am worrying about return back cancer.

I'm not good in English as well as you and I can't talk about it with other people. 

Here is only place that I know. 

I scared from my loneliness .

Please help me if you finish your treatments and you are healthy now

  • HI

    It is great news that your treatment has finished.  I totally understand the fear of the cancer coming back.  I had different cancer to you and I had to take tablets for 5 years.  I finished these tablets last month so am sort of in the same place - but over 5 years after having cancer.

    As it is 5 years later for me, the fear of it coming back has eased year by year and to be honest  - time passing is the only real thing that helps you stop worrying about it coming back.  I 100% expected on my first year scan for it to be back, but it wasn't and each year after my scan that worry eases a little. 

    Here is a paper which, if you are able to spend the time going through it (I understand it will be harder for you as English isn't your first language) but it is a really good read and certainly helped me.

    It is really hard to trust your body again after it has let you down already isn't it?

    Kindest wishes, Lesley
